1788 - The unresolved Human Rights Abuses of both Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Australians by the British Government

There should be a differentiation made between the decision makers in 1788 and the human beings they dumped here.

My family, both sides are 'First Fleeters', but what many people forget is that the great majority of those on board the First Fleet and subsequent Fleets did NOT CHOSE to come to Australia, they were in fact dumped in Australia by those British Decision Makers. 

Not a stolen generation - but an unwanted and abandoned generation. These 'convicts' were torn from their culture and heritage which wasn't only 'British Christian' heritage and not only were the 'convicts' punished in this inhumane manner but so were their families in their countries of origin and their subsequent generations born here sentenced to the same punishment denied their rightful place within their families, culture and heritage.

I believe that once non-Aboriginal Australians get past the 'ego' thing that hangs on their convict ancestory and realise that the greatest ever Human Rights Abuses on the face of the planet were committed by the British Government against both the Non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal people, the sooner we can quickly come to an appropriate resolution.

Instead of aiming our advocacy at the current Australian Government we, the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people of this land now known as Australia, should go arm in arm as victims of the British Government and the regime of the day and demand restitution. 

Sadly our Australian systems of Government are merely reflections of the British system and therefore they are still perpetuating inhumane treatment of all those deemed lesser in the value system of the British i.e. Aboriginal Australians, non-Aboriginal Australians and refugees. 

How can non-Aboriginal Australians ever even begin to understand the horrific nature of what was done to Aboriginal Australians by the British (and subsequent Australian) Governments when we can't even deal with our own generational trauma from our beginnings as the lowest of low and the most unwanted of human beings? 

Can you imagine if the refugees of today weren't actually fleeing their country by choice but literally shoved off the shoreline of their country of origin because the the unwanted trash of a society and being dumped here? 

We need to deal with our own trauma to firstly gain even the slightest insight into what was stolen from Aboriginal Australians i.e. not just their land but their family and their history, and secondly so that we can objectively assess the actions of the British Government in 1788 and work together as the human beings we are to find and demand a solution from the British Government. 

Jesus the Philosopher

Jesus should have been revered as a great philosopher and teacher of unconditional love. 

Instead his free philosophy lessons were taken over and controlled and eventually either franchised out or rivals for the hearts and minds of human beings set up shop. 

The very essence of the philosophy Jesus taught was the fact that it could not be owned or controlled it had to be lived. Lived with every breath we take and every thought we have.

Sadly the purity and freedom with which he taught the lessons of unconditional love resonated so widely that the greedy fools of the day saw a way to control people and to use his philosophy to control other human beings and to create power and wealth for themselves! 

His philosophy was hijacked by those who were the very antithesis of that philosophy.

My thoughts on this 51st Birthday.

I am always dismayed by those that want to hide how many years they've been alive on this planet.

So many people fight hard for their lives and lose them far too young.

Why are people embarrassed to age? Isn't that embarrassment an insult to those who fight for their lives and lose the battle?

Every day on this planet is a blessing - I've been blessed now with 18,615 days on this planet.

What I would like for my 51st Birthday is for ALL my friends and family to revel in the blessing that is the ability to age, rather than see it as a weakness.

Could you all do that for me? Even for one day? That would be the best birthday present ever.

Youthfullness is a gorgeous part of life, but it isn't the only gorgeous part of life - aging is gorgeous too, because with it comes wisdom, memories and friendships that span more time.

DON'T - regret aging - love the fact that you are still here when there are many who didn't make it as far as you have.

F*cking Outrageous Racism Alive and Well and Thriving in the Clarence Valley in 2014!

Publishing who owes the 'largest amount of unpaid illegal land excise' WTF are they thinking at the Daily Examiner???? Assholes.

Who owned this land?

Who isn't acknowledged in the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia?

Who is still considered Flora & Fauna in NSW Legislation i.e. an animal NOT a human being????

Who never received even the common courtesy of even a basic Treaty with the British - like they managed to arrange for the Maori folk of NZ?

Who unlawfully legislated the NSW Local Government Act 1993 after the FAILURE of a NATIONWIDE referendum on inclusion of a third tier of Government in our Constitution i.e. local government?????

Who fails to challenge this unlawful 'Local Government' statute in the High Court despite having successfully challenged in 1997 the NSW Liquor Excise Act of 1901 as being Unconstitutional - and won this case because NSW had exceeded their power under the Constitution itself!!!!

MAN I AM ANGRY ...

We have all these privileged white fulla's espousing reconciliation and even putting their so called attempts at this initiative on the f*cking CV's and NOW they are publicly shaming an already horrifically marginalised group of honourable human beings by releasing details of a debt that isn't even a lawful excise!!!!

AUSTRALIANS - non-Aboriginal Australians - should be hanging their f*cking heads in shame.
MAN I am still so f&cking angry


Shame on you CVC and Daily Examiner - racist pigs.

Msyandry - Hi-jacking and bastardasing attempts at finding solutions for Domestic/Family Violence.

Yes, the mysandrists have hijacked the feminist movement and their policy and advocacy is nothing but tunnel vision. I believe they've forgotten men are human beings who have every right to feel safe and loved, as women do. 

Learn the DV cycle - everyone - and recognise what behaviours of your own may actually be violent behaviours. 

Women are as capable as men are in terms of violence in a relationship - you just may not realise that your own behaviours are abusive - physical violence gets more acknowledgement and appears to have a greater focus and by and large men are statistically larger beings than women - so often when pushed to the point of breaking by a woman's preferred methods of violence they resort to physical violence, that's no excuse for taking the choice to be physically violent at all, but it isn't an excuse either to ignore the dynamics of the whole relationship that precipitated the violence. 

Emotional, psychological, financial violence is equally unacceptable.http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=16394

The shoe on the other foot - PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE video

This is a video made in the mid 1980's in the lead up to the Bi-Centennial of 'non-aboriginal settlement' of our country. For the convicts who were dumped here by the British Government and forced by them to invade this land I cannot imagine their own grief. Not all of course were compassionate understanding human beings, many took part in the massacres and the invasion tactics of the British. I try to imagine what it must have been like for both these convicts and the First Peoples, it is hard to do. I have found some writings in relation to the experience, but not many, I will search more fully to find more.

Some of you may find some aspects of this a little confronting and perhaps even disrespectful, in particular the response to the ANZAC Day marches, HOWEVER keep your minds open - the video doesn't denigrate ANZAC Day it is merely showing a contrast between what non-Aboriginal people value and yet how we often disregard the values of Aboriginal people. IT IS NOT MEANT TO DISRESPECT OUR DIGGERS - DIGGERS whose number include many honourable and brave Aboriginal people.

The video is almost 30 minutes. So don't start watching unless you've time to watch it all - because you won't be able to stop yourself from watching once it's started.Babakkiueria
